    Can't connect or share files on my network


    I have 3 pc's on my network. Win 7, XP and Win 10. Win 7 can connect to all 3, XP can connect to all 3, but win 10 can't connect to any. I can see them in explorer and I can ping successfully but can't connect to share files. No problems with this prior to last update. I run the trouble shooter and get error code 0x80070035 "The network path was not found" What is going on? Everything worked fine until last update? Major major problem

    :)
